1. Is it important to be punctual?
There is no doubt about it! Being on time is one of the most basic manners showing that you are the man of your words and can be relied on. The habit of punctuality also expresses your respect and make a good impression on other people.
2. How do you feel when others are late?
I think it really depends on whether there is a good reason for it or not. For example, I would feel very annoyed if someone came late just because they oversleep or forget about it. This demonstrates that he or she is stealing the precious time of other people and are undervaluing them. However, in some situations, if there is an objective reason like getting stuck in the traffic jam or having an illness, I think it can totally be tolerable.
3. Are you, yourself, late very often?
Well, I am pretty good at on the dot for things because I respect both my time and the time of other people. However, I can be late sometimes, but of course with a good reason for it. I mean, for example, in some unexpected circumstances like getting stuck in traffic jam or having an illness.
4. How often do you check the time?
Oh, I do it frequently. Because of the requirements of my job, I usually have to check the time to ensure that I am on schedule. I don’t want to race against the time and then meet the deadline just in the nick of time. It can exhaust me.
5. What do you do when you wait?
Waiting time is really not my cup of tea, so I always try to find interesting things to kill the time like surfing Facebook, talking on the phone or indulging in a book.
